6. You are FUNNY. Real funny.
5. Playing Nintendo with other people is not as fun
4. We share terrible taste in music
3. One Direction
2. Twitter. Thats all
1. You’re probably the coolest person I know. Ok definitely

That is still one of my favorite Youtube videos. But that is not the point of this.

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while, but keep getting distracted. Did you know that apparently some boys really like girls who can make authentic cat noises? I didn’t either. For the Super Bowl I was invited to a married person party by my old roommate. I accepted because my other option was watching in my apartment alone. BORING. And then AFTER I had accepted she was like “Oh by the way, there will be one other single kid there.” TRICKED! But it was to late to turn back, and I figured I’m pretty excellent at seeming unapproachable, I will foil her clever plan by simply being myself*. SO I go, everything fine. He’s cheering for the 49rs and I had already committed to cheering for the Ravens, Because hello, I love The Blind Side. Unfortunately for me this made him feel like he should tease me about who I was cheering for, Unfortunately for him I didn’t engage, because in reality I didn’t care who won THAT much. Also his facial hair was offensive to me.

So another attendee of this party was the host couples 2 year old child, who loved me. So he comes up to me all of a sudden and meows like a cat. my ONLY option is to meow back. Which took me from the position of cool person in the room, to COOLEST person in the room. He just kept meowing at me so I would meow back and then he started rubbing his head on me, like a cat. Normally I would think this was hilarious and weird, but this time it was hilarious, weird, and useful. Because I had sort of made it my goal to make this other single kid think I was just bizarre, because I wanted to foil my roommates plans. Everything is going perfectly. Then someone else at the party mentions Tom Brady is his fave Football player. And I say Tom Brady is a douchebag, and pull out my soapbox and stand on it for a while. Turns out that kid hates Tom Brady as well, an unfortunate coincidence. He said “You’re my new favorite person!” I didn’t really even acknowledge this. Then I go back to acting like a cat. Not really my best first impression. It’s fine. We leave, and I gloat to myself because I was successful in avoiding a complete set up.

The next day my friend text me “Hey, So don’t be mad at me but Bran text my husband and asked if you would want to go out sometime.”
A couple things:

A boy who likes a girl who acts like a cat for an hour is not to be trusted.

He’s borderline pansy, because he didn’t just ask them for my number, he asked them to ask me out for him

His facial hair is still offensive to me

I actually didn’t talk to him at all.

He’s 30 and I don’t have to date 30 year olds till I am 25

See number 5 and number 1 read: Desperate

I’m snobby, but it’s ok

I pitched a small fit about it but in the end said I would go. Luckily I haven’t heard back about it, Unluckily, now I feel like I can never talk to my old roommate again because she’ll suck me in.

*In one of our conversations at the Superbowl thing she was asking me if I was dating anyone and I was like no. blah blah blah. And she was like “You just don’t know how to act around boys. You need to be yourself, but way nicer.” And I just thought to myself, “So you want me to not act like myself really.”

Today campus was basically a giant Ice sheet, and I wore boots with ZERO tread. And I was joking with my friend about how I needed to brush up on my Triple toe loop, since I had taken figure skating when I was approximately 8. And then I realized. I have taken basically every type of lesson. No stone was left unturned in my quest for talent and the only one I actually managed to get is a very expensive hobby for a college student… So I don’t know that it actually counts.

Lets take a look back at my many almost skills.

The first Class I remember taking is Sunshine Generation. My mothers first attempt to make me a singer and a dancer. At this point my singing was probably just OK, and my dancing not much better. But I was young, probably around six, so really I couldn’t have been expected to be good at much more than being adorable. Which I excelled at.

I did gymnastics for about a year I think. I doubt I was very good, and I know gymnastics made my mom very nervous since I had already broken my arm once. I feel like there’s a good chance I only took one session then after summer was over she just didn’t sign me back up. and who even knows if I wanted to be signed up. they didn’t just let you run around on the bouncy floor, you had to wait in line to jump on the spring board.

Next came my participation in soccer. Probably around the same time as my Sunshine generation days. I use the term participation loosely. I did not really like to run up and down the field and I was afraid of the ball. But I did really want to be the goalie, because those kids didn’t have to run at all. Lucky. I was pretty good at sitting down in the middle of the game and making nests out of grass though, which is probably why my coach never let me goalie.

My first Jazz Tap Ballet class. I also took tumbling at the same place. I know I danced to a song called Minnie mouse is in the house and Jitter bug. and I still think the costume was ADORABLE. I feel like this was probably one of those quits where my mom was like ” do you want to sign up again?” and I was just like “Nah. I just want free time ALL THE TIME”

Top right baby. Check out the pure photogenic

1st piano lessons. I don’t know why I quit, but I know I did. I probably just hated the dumb music I was forced to play. and the theory, and the note cards.

I know I at least practiced for some sort of softball or teeball. probably in like 2nd grade I know I had the uniform for a while. I don’t remember ever playing in the outfield or really playing in any game at all, there is a chance I quit the team, maybe because I broke my arm, maybe because I just didn’t like it. Who
knows?!

Suzki Piano lessons, because that’s what one of my friends who was EXCELLENT at the piano took. I made it through the first book and didn’t want to continue because in Suzuki you’re just supposed to memorize the music, not just look at the notes, and I hated that. so I quit

I think that Ice skating comes in somewhere here. I don’t know why I didn’t skate longer. Maybe that’s where a broken arm came in. I wish I remembered more clearly. Maybe my mom decided she didn’t want to drive clear to the ice sheet once a week cause it was about 1/2 hour from my house, Maybe she realized I’d never be graceful, so skating was a waste of time, Or maybe I jut decided I didn’t want to sign up again. I’ll neet to fact check that with her

I made another short attempt at soccer in 4th grade. I quit after the 3rd practice because I remembered that I hated soccer. But I got my picture taken!

3rd set of piano lessons, because I wanted to be able to play the music I heard on the radio, when I realized you basically just learn to play hot cross buns and other ridiculous garbage I decided I hated it. I lied all the time and told my mom that I practiced when I didn’t actually so I never improved, then I quit.

MODERN DANCE. I don’t even know what else to say. Just know it didn’t last long. Although I am positive that I thoroughly enjoyed acting like a leaf. That’s the only class I remember. I think my Mom and my friend’s who I was taking it with mom decided we were basically learning nothing. and they were right. And I was more than happy to quit because even at a young age I knew that modern dance is ridiculous.

I took Sewing in here somewhere. I sewed a very fine flannel night gown with skiing kittens on it, an ugly purse that is still in my basement somewhere, a cooling band, A bear and a dress for the bear. I don’t think there was an opportunity to continue sewing lessons with the same lady. It might have been a one time run

In 4th grade another set of dance class. Tap, Jazz, Ballet, with LaRae the scariest Lady ever. When I broke my arm she told me only graceful girls were allowed in her studio and when we messed up she told us we would have to clean the toilet with our tongues. I only lasted one session there. And our outfits were hideous. Also Me and my friend were apparently so bad we had to dance with the age group below us. looking back I should have been a lot more embarrassed.

Hideous. And Check out that hair. Obviously the work of my neighbor because my mom couldn’t wield a curling iron

You’re a terrible dancer, so you will dance with babies

WOOOOO Horseback Riding lessons!! My one skill! I LOVED riding lessons. And I willingly went on Saturdays to work at the boarding facility I took lessons at to earn extra lessons. Because more time with horses was more fun. I believe I took 2 summers of riding lessons.

Back to Dance with LaRae, Irish Step dancing, the greatest dance class of all time and the one dance class I wasn’t just horrible in, because you usually didn’t have to move your hands so I could just focus on my Legs. Focusing on more then one thing as a child was difficult for me, and is still difficult for me today. I quit after one session of this as well. probably because dance infringed on my free time.

Every summer from the summer before kindergarten to the summer after 6th grade I took swim lessons, sometimes multiple sets per summer. My dad was an excellent swimmer and I think my mom really wanted me to be a swimmer too. Unfortunately I really really hate rotary breathing. So I’m slow, and I look ridiculous when I swim. but she tried really hard. I finally quit swim lessons after I took the same one like 3 times in a row and couldn’t pass because I couldn’t do Butterfly correctly. which was a double blow because it was my dads best stroke, and I was PATHETIC at it.

Back to dance class, this time just jazz. I liked dancing here and I was in the oldest group of girls the lady taught so we got to go to all sorts of competitions and special performances at places. I liked dancing here but I decided that the only reason you keep dancing in JR high is so you can become a cheer leader, so I didn’t go back after 1 season.

This hair. I can’t even.

I was a follower and took up flute and band for 7th grade because one of my friends had. I enjoyed playing the flute enough. I think part of my love for it came from the competitions between the band kids to become first chair. which I never got, because my friend was WAY better then me. But I did own both 2nd and 3rd chair quite frequently.

After 8th grade I decided to quit band for choir. and I really liked being in choir. mostly because of the teacher. My mom was even nice enough to sign me up for voice lessons. unfortunately I never learned to sight-read so I didn’t make high school concert choir. I took that pretty hard for a while, then when I realized I didn’t even like a vast majority of the choir kids I got over it.

During 7th grade I decided I really wanted a cheer leader uniform so my mom kindly signed me up for cheer leading class so I could improve and hopefully make the Jr. High Team for 8th grade. I was never meant to be a dancer. and this was the year I finally realized it. I didn’t even end up going out for cheerleader because I heard that you had to be able to do a standing back tuck and I figured. why bother even trying.

What follows is the lesson less years Until I got my own horse and started going to Horse club, which was basically the greatest thing ever and pretty much defines my summers through high school. And actually horses basically defined my life through high school. Kelli and Sadie, On horseback, All day everyday, Rain or shine.

Horse Jumping Lessons. These were fun. But boy were the girls at that stable snobby. But those horses were awesome. I’m not sure why I quit this. Maybe my mom realized I was too old for her to be paying for me to take lessons any more. Which was valid. Also, You can only progress so far in jumping before you need to buy your own expensive Hunter Jumper. and I was not anywhere close to that point when I quit.

We LOVE Valentines Day, and by this I don’t mean just sort of in a halfhearted sort of way. I mean that we LOVE it (caps for emphasis). So inorder to celebrate here is a post that was originally supposed to be an average, everyday, normal length post, but somehow mutated into this enormous monster.

First up is this lovely short film which is simply adorable. My favorite Uncle showed it to me, and I pretty much became obsessed with it. He’s pretty sure it is what inspired this lovely Disney Short.

…And here is a video made by Post Secret (which we have both been obsessed with for years) that has a bunch of lovely Valentines Day secrets (P.S. Sorry if the eye one creeps you out. It creeped me out a bit).

And now here is a relatively short list of some Romantic Comedies that you can watch on Valentines Day.

VALENTINES DAY MOVIES

Sleepless in Seattle– You can’t go wrong with a little Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Actually I take that back. One time I watched Joe Verses The Volcano, and apparently you can go wrong. This one came out ok though. In addition to Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks it also features one of my favorite US cities, precocious children, and the Empire State Building on Valentines Day.

Valentines Day–I’m not really sold on this movie, but I’m giving it a free pass because of it’s title. Also it’s a really great concept. Sort of a Valentines version of Love Actually with a bunch of different interconnected couples, and a lot of big names in the cast. Love Actually is way better though so if you don’t mind the sort of Christmas theme than I totally put myself behind that option.

You’ve Got Mail– Another Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks film. I actually really dislike Tom Hanks, but I make an exception for these two movies. I have always really liked this film. If you are into older films you could watch the original version titled ‘Shop Around The Corner’

He’s Just Not That Into You– This movie is hilarious, and it also features lots of different types of loosely interconnected couples. Fun Fact this movie is actually based off of a self help book of the same title. It is also one of the few things that Jennifer Anniston has done since Friends that I actually liked.

While You Were Sleeping– I love this movie. I think Kelli might hate this movie, but I can’t remember why. Either way I’m a sucker for any awkward Saundra Bullock Romantic Comedy, and I find this one to be particularly enjoyable.

Next is an exhaustive collection of Valentines Day/Love themed playlists. Alternative Titles: If There Isn’t a Playlist Below With Your Current Love Situation I’ll Be Surprised; I Like Themed Playlists Too Much, and Have No Life; or I Listen to a Lot of Embarrassing Music (your choice).

Then I saw this post which has been sitting in my dash as a draft for who knows how long. I don’t really remember why I never posted it, but I do remember coming up with the title and thinking I was really cool.
_______________________

Lately I have been breaking all my stuff. I may have just ruined my iPod…. and my lap top. Also for the last 3 years I have received a digital camera for Christmas, and I have subsequently ruined/lost all of them. I seem to have very poor luck with cameras. The first one I brought a long to the pool with me and my sunscreen exploded and ruined both my camera and my old iPod (it was a rough day that ended with me breaking not only electronics, but also a bone). The second one I brought to Rawhide. Enough said. As for the last one I went to a concert and at some point it slipped out of my pocket and most likely got trampled by hundreds of people. :( I decided to dedicate this post to appliences that met untimly deaths.

All of my brother’s cell phones. He seems to have very poor luck with cell phones. He has washed atleast 3 with his laundry, cracked several screens, and even ran over one with a lawn mower.

My other brother’s iPhone which he accidentally buried with one of those giant digging machines.

The electrolux vaccume which my brother tried to vaccume up a pool of water with.

The cell phone I dropped off a roof.

The remote key for our car which accidently took a trip down the river

My old stereo which fell down a flight of stairs

RIP stuff. I miss you.

Now for our annual New Years post that is also annually a week late.

Predictions we made last year that came true:

The world doesn’t end.

Beyonce names her baby something crazy.

Hunger Games is huge.

Hey Monday goes on indefinite Hiatus

Predictions that should have come true, but didn’t because People are dumb:

Ryan Gosling is named Sexiest Man Alive (ROBBED AGAIN!)

New Predictions:

Ryan Gosling is named Sexiest Man Alive (We will leave this on here until it actually happens).

Miley and Liam break up or at the very most have a very short wedded life.

Taylor Swift writes a song about her break up with Harry Styles possibly with a cheater theme.

We discover Teresa Jack. the worlds most interesting girl. We now follow her life’s progress via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.

We became obsessed with North Korea and The Avengers at around the same time, Google predicted searches got a little interesting.

Sadie worked long hard hours at a grocery store.

Kelli moved back to Logan and never works, but survives taking 21 credits fall semester and only whined a few times a day.

We apply and are accepted to work at Riverway Ranch Camp where we accomplished many horseback riding bucket list items, Such as; swimming on horses and riding a friesian dressage horse. How exciting!

We road tripped to Seattle and arrived at 3am due to some poor planning skills. While there we placed some gum on The Gum Wall.

In Seattle we are spectators for the prestigious Windermere Cup which convinces us we should probably take up rowing. This has yet to happen and probably never will

We go on a Knowlton family camping expedition to go rafting.There were different cooking teams and our team won. Some might tell you that it wasn’t a competition. They are all LYING. It was definitely a competition, as all things are.

We hope your year has been as productive and amazing as ours has!
Sincerely,
Sadie and Kelli

First we have the student who moves to the library or as I prefer to call them Library Zombies. you might see them studying away when you stop in to the library in the morning to print off your paper, then later that evening when you go to use the library’s uber fast internet to download some Ebook, There they are taking a little snooze at their desk. The next morning you go back to the library for class and they are still there, same chair, same table, same clothes studying away. These students are the reason there is a cafe in the library, And the line is always long.

Next we have the serious business at home studier, to know that a person is this type of studier they probably have to tell you. Perhaps you shoot of a message like “hey want to go get some ice cream as a finals week treat?” and they reply 8 hours later at 3 in the morning, “oh hey sorry, didn’t get your text I’ve been holed up in my room studying all day.” These are who I believe are the most dedicated of finals week students. The ones in the library are dedicated to be sure, but these at home studiers can stay on task off campus and that is impressive.

Another type of studier is the crammer. Both of my brothers are crammers. These kids don’t study for the test until the day before the test. ever. and they will tell you this. and then they start to study for the test, they stay up basically all night studying, maybe take a quick catnap before the test, then go take it, then come home and crash. personally of all the studiers I find this the most difficult to understand. Because If I stayed up all night a cat nap would not be enough to get me through the test

The Facebook studier is the student who is on facebook saying ” I should be studying for finals but instead I’m on facebook, such is my life” Hi. You don’ need to broadcast to the world that you ought to be studying. News flash. Probably no one cares, except maybe your parents, who wish that you were studying.

Then there is the non studier. the person who claims,”Oh, I didn’t study for this test at all!” and then after the test walking out you hear them talking to someone and they are like “Just totally aced my final” I am suspicious, and jealous of these people in equal parts, and I want to know how many of them actually ace the test.

I myself am a half studier. I set out with good intentions to buckle down and study. I get all set up, read my notes, maybe even jot a few things down. Then I get all the way through my notes once and am just like ” Well, guess I’m done!” then I go on my merry way. Part of the problem is that if I study for too long my test anxiety gets worse and part of the problem is that after I read through something I’m pretty sure I know it, even if I don’t.

Like this. Apparently you are supposed to mix Elmers glue, sand, and water and drip it over a bowl until it hardens….

WHAT THE HECK GUYS!? Am I the only person who immediately sees how stupid this is?! I love The ocean, and it would be a lovely place to keep your seashells, yes pinterest, you are correct. But I don’t need a seashell holder that is going to dissolve if someone touches it too hard! I mean Glue, Sand, and water doesn’t make cement… It makes a mess. Also whats up with pinterest making things seem so easy all the time. I’d bet my last serving of cereal that if I made a sand bowl it wouldn’t turn out smooth. Something is definitely fishy about that bowl.

I mean come on! It’s Black FRIDAY not Thursday! Plus I just feel bad for all the employees who have to work on Thanksgiving instead of being with Family and Friends. However, despite my best efforts to convince people to boycott, I ended up going to Walmart with my sister in order to wait in line for some ridiculously cheap Blu-ray player that she wanted (I didn’t buy anything as some form of meager protest). While we were there we started keeping track of all the weird things we heard so here are list of quotes from random people inside the Walmart Black Friday Frenzy…

Walmart Employee with loud voice: (REPEATEDLY) Do not touch the merchandise until 8:00! We are enforcing this rule with everyone! *meanwhile everyone ignores him and even the people standing right next to him are loading up on cheap DVDs and walking away with stacks of merchandise*

Guy who see’s us waiting in line for the Blu-Ray Player: Whoa! So is this the line for the Toilet Paper? (They position things in random parts of the store to spread out the lines/crowds so the Blu-Ray player was indeed in the Toilet Paper Section)

Guy in line to checkout: Whoa! I swear they have everything here!Girl in line with him: Yeah! I hear they are giving out tikets to the Celestial Kingdom over in housewares!

Guy infront of us in line to checkout on cell phone: Yeah, yeah! I’m coming. I’m just waiting in line to pay. Meanwhile the guy in front of me is buying half the store! (That guy probably heard him)

Also you know what I miss? The Crazy Target Lady commercials. Imma let you finish but those commercials were the best ad campaign ever made!
